    M2P & Assistant Simulator on Mac: can't take off with USB connected

    I have had trouble connecting through Bluetooth with my Mavic Cine over the past few years. My iPhone 13 is saved as a connection from when I have connected but since updating to the latest firmware I cannot connect again. This is really a problem when I am flying in an airport zone and need to...

    Grading D-Log M in Resolve

    These are good questions. I would not select the 203 nit checkbox unless I had SDR material in a timeline that I wanted to uprez to HDR. This project is Davinci Wide Gamut and the material coming into the project is definitely HDR being D-Log. Davinci would not consider this footage SDR. If you...

    Parachute Recovery and Flight Termination System for the DJI Mavic 3

    There’s also a company called Parazero with a similar product called safeair for Mavic 3 that I considered but twice the price of the Manti. SafeAir Mavic 3 - ParaZero

    Parachute Recovery and Flight Termination System for the DJI Mavic 3

    We ordered the AVSS system for Mavic and it never arrived after a year and I did manage to get my money back. I found a company called FlyFire out of China and their recovery system is way, way cheaper than the other systems and certified in my region. Their operating time is about 3 hours so I...

    Grading D-Log M in Resolve

    Yes, Davinci is a bit of a bear for settings. Hopefully this gives you enough to go on. If you produce something 4K that's a minute or more long, you'll think it's failed on Youtube, but don't give up hope, it takes 3-4 hours for their servers to process the HDR metadata. You'll look back and...

    Grading D-Log M in Resolve

    One other thing, go to user prefs in the upper left and make sure your monitors are set to high quality and Mac color profile if you are on a Mac with the new P3 display. When you hit command F in the edit room or color room you'll get full screen display in HDR this way. Shift-F keeps some of...

    Grading D-Log M in Resolve

    It sounds like you are putting together your thoughts in the right way for HDR. I use D-Log for for my recordings on Mavic Cine and record to ProRes format so 422 recording and 10 bits of depth. D-Log has a huge color gamut that you cannot take advantage of in Rec 709, plus D-Log recording...

    Grading D-Log M in Resolve

    Yes, YouTube does what’s called tone mapping to SDR so it will look right on a screen that does not have an HDR display. Take a look at YouTube’s upload requirements. It can be a little tricky. You must do the right colour space and transfer function for HDR. I’m a certified Dolby colorist so...

    Sorry was private as I was just testing. This should be public now:

    Grading D-Log M in Resolve

    The only thing about using LUTs is that you can only ever arrive at Rec 709 color space. Rec 709 is the most common color space currently for HDTV, but it’s a very limited color space similar to sRGB. Using a color Transform node in Resolve you can bring your footage into a bigger color world...

    NO LONGER NEEDED Mavic 3 Battery Empty Box needed

    I don’t have a box, but I have that nice grey, soft case for the Mavic 3 that holds the aircraft and three batteries, etc. I moved everything g to a hard case because I have 6 batteries and parallel charger, etc.

    custom unlocking help

    Yes, I know what you mean. So often critical steps get left out in tutorials that should show every little step. It's frustrating for sure. Hopefully things go better for you after this.

    custom unlocking help

    Sounds like the only sure shot solution. Last time this happened to me in the field it took me 20 minutes to get my cell phone to connect. I’m not sure why this is such an issue with these remotes. I was 3 hours from home so I really needed for my phone to work and finally it did, but not a fun...

    custom unlocking help

    It sounds like you are doing everything right. I was going to suggest you do it under wifi and then it should stick, but you’ve tried that. When you see the authorization in the app, do you import it into the aircraft and do you then click on aircraft to see it there? Once imported it should...
